In line with its strategy of making films for the international market, production company Morena Films (see interview) has joined forces with France’s Full House to produce collective film 7 Days In Havana, in which seven directors will offer their personal vision of the Cuban capital. The project is produced by Álvaro Longoria and Didar Domehri for a budget of around €3m.

The film’s seven episodes will unfold over one week, one day for each. Moreover, although the episodes are self-contained, both their plot and characters are interconnected – protagonists in some shorts reappear as secondary characters in others. The different threads are tied together with the help of Cuban novelist and journalist Leonardo Padura as script coordinator.

7 Days In Havana comes in the wake of projects like Paris, I Love You and New York, I Love You[+see also: trailerfilm profile]. “Havana is the perfect location [for this type of film]. Moreover, it could undergo a radical transformation in the next few years. That’s why it’s important to capture it as it is today", said Longoria.
